Join ceramic artist, Rhi Jarman, founder of Pipistrelle Design, to design, create and decorate your own porcelain jewellery.

In this workshop, Rhi will demonstrate a variety of techniques and approaches for you to design, make and decorate a range of porcelain beads and pendants.

You will begin by making different shaped beads to get a feel for the porcelain, which transforms into fine, beautiful jewellery for daily use. Rhi will then support you to design and create pendants using a choice of sprig (press) moulds, flat templated designs or 3D hand-sculpture (or a combination).

There will be a variety of decorating options including painting, carving, and texturising with different tools, plus the opportunity to add colour with oxide, stains and underglaze. Your finished pieces will be glazed (if requested) and stoneware fired following the class for you to collect and transform into jewellery such as necklaces or earrings.
